I read about ppl standing up while bouncing it up in 2nd. Why can't you just sit down and do it. I have not done this but would this work? Stay seated, let off the gas while doing so push down on the handle bars then on the way back up hammer it. I would think that this and bouncing on the pegs while standing would be the same principle. Is this correct or not?

 

yea, you can do that but bouncing your weight on the pegs is gonna make a lot more difference than pushing your upperbody down on the forks. I can pop my r1 up in 3rd with stock gearing, sitting down, so it's not like it's rocket science to do it.. but it sure doesn't come up as quickly as pegbouncing does.

 

Standing and bouncing is a lot easier. You could get it up by sitting and pushing down really really hard and catching it on the up bounce, but you would be working way to hard for it. Compared to just standing. If you feel more comfortable sitting then just clutch it.

 

just clutch it up.
